Big sized IPO. Total OFS, so nothing is going to the company. Promoters Rathods and family are selling their shares. Still holding 91.8% equity after this OFS. A good thing for the company and investors. Financials are good. But not that much against the pricing of the issue of f v of 5. Pricing we may call at higher-end. Not to expect more from promoters. Minimum 10% positive listing is good on an investment of 10 days. Anchor book is good with combination of different levels. However, GMP is ruling below 20%. Not bad at the moment. Next week's market is very important, specially opening and closing. Listing gains may come down also and go up with market condition upto the closing of IPO. There are many better companies in the market for house hold items but Cello is not a bad NAME. To decide for medium to long-term investment depends after listing and market conditions.

@harit I don't think Amitji the great might not be eating Bikaji Namkeen at home and not using Cello products for daily use at home. His profession, so paid for that. **ALL THAT GLITTER IS NOT GOLD**, we know.
Forget he is using all these at home or not, the shares may in medium to long-term move in that way. As far as listing gain is there, it should be there. Market may improve in coming days, I pray.
